The Post Office scandal is one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in recent British history. But did you know Torchwood has already dealt with it? In this special mini episode I examine one of my favourite Big Finish audio dramas, Torchwood: The Three Monkeys, and how it covers this story. You could say it's the whole package! But you shouldn't.You can pickup a copy of Torchwood: The Three Monkeys here! (Not sponsored)Always Foolish is a positive Doctor Who podcast, about finding things we like in episodes we don't.

On this episode we're generating some opinions as we discuss the Doctor's Daughter, an episode that changed the Doctor's life forever for about 39 minutes. Is Jenny actually the Doctor's daughter? What should fatherhood mean to the Doctor? Is this almost a really interesting discussion of war? How did Alice Troughton get so much out of so few corridors? Why was Martha left alone with the fish? Did Martha murder that fish and cover it up and now we're all complicit? Answers to these questions and more in this episode. Plus David discovers some things that no other Doctor Who fan has ever discussed before! (probably) Always Foolish is a positive Doctor Who podcast, about finding things we like in episodes we don't.

On this episode we take a bite of the big apple as we set our eyestalks on Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks - two episodes which scream there are Daleks in these ones. Is there a fascinating study of capitalism hiding beneath the surface? What is the episode trying to say about humanity? Is the answer DNA? If the answer is DNA, what actually is the question? Why pigs Russell? What will Solomon bifurcate next?
